The original length of the rectangle in inches is 4. Since 1 box=3 inches, the original length in boxes is 4/3.
To convert the scale to 1 box=6 inches, we need to multiply the original length in boxes by 6/3.
So the length in the new scale drawing will be (4/3) * (6/3) = 8/3 boxes.
A rectangle is 8 inches wide and 4 inches long
Scale: 1 box = 3 inches
